Default Were to get D-sub thumb screws?

I've really grown to hate the little D-sub screws come with most of the d-sub shells. There a real pain when your working in tight spots and I got a bunch of them in my plane. I would like to replace the little screws with the long screws that have a knurled end (I'm not sure if "thumb screw" is the right name or not).

Does any one know where to get these screws?

Default Allen Fulmer to the rescue:

Allen Fulmer provided this info a while back:

Allied Electronics, Inc. Stock No. is 810-0009. Link to page follows:

https://www.alliedelec.com/Search/Pr...9D1B001E0BE17F

Every time I need to remove a D-Sub, I replace the screws with these.

Default Thanks

Thanks for the answers. I orderd the ones from Allied, mainly to save a little on S&H but the IEC ones with the plastic ends looked pretty nice too.
